It's National Administrative Professional's Day and we are celebrating Miss Rita today! So much so, that we kinda stretched it out all week with treats and love gifts. We all appreciate her gift for loving others and always being there to provide a helping hand when needed (except when it involves blood or saliva). We are immensely grateful for your dedication and enthusiasm!

The week of April 13th is Natuonal Dental Hygienist Week. This post illustrates why they are so passionate about clean teeth and healthy gums. When you have been diagnosed with gum disease, you have an active bacterial infection that not only destroys supporting bone but causes many chronic diseases. THANK YOU LADIES FOR KEEPING OUR PATIENTS HEALTHY!

We are so happy to celebrate these ladies during National Dental Assistant's Week. Michelle and Patty are Expanded Function Assistants meaning they have taken extra training and are certified by the Missouri Dental Board to help Dr. Rick with restorative and prosthetic cases. They also are adept with the latest technology using digital scanning in creating our crowns, bridges, dentures and other appliances inhouse on our 3D printers and mills. They are two of southwest Missouri's finest and we are proud to have them on our team. Thank you for all you do in taking care of our patients!
